Balloons Galore – What a Fitting End

Our ‘Last Two Weeks’ (in Park City) – and what a way to end!  It is always hard to say good-bye, especially to such wonderful friends.  So – there were 14 days packed full of those ‘last’ rounds of golf, ‘last’ dinners, ‘last’ hikes and two special events with all the special people in our lives here.

Not only did these last two weeks signify the cycle of seasons – summer to fall – BUT, we had a special event that reminded us of the cycle of life and where we, along with so many of our friends, are right now.  After spending another couple of days on the phone with insurance companies – G & E are now signed up for Medicare, Medicare Supp Plans and Part D insurance!!;-)!!  This, of course, is necessitated by E turning 65 (YIKES!!!!!) this November and Gary turning 70 in April!  We, however, are NOT alone.  EVERYONE is celebrating a similar event – some just do it in greater ‘style’ like our friend Steve, who had a real ‘Barn Burner’ of an event – –

Line dancing and a riding exhibition kept everyone engaged.

 

And then the event we stayed in Park City for – Autumn Aloft.  What a wonderful way to end our stay – –

Hopper T Frog and Gizzmo get prepped for flight. It takes an army to get them off the ground!
